A string of vehicle burglaries occurred in Parking Structure 7 and Lot 59 last week and ASU police have issued an advisory asking drivers to protect their vehicles against break-ins.

Ten vehicle burglaries in the area were reported Friday to the ASU Department of Public Safety, which released records pertaining to nine of the cases Monday afternoon. All victims listed in the nine cases were students.

Three months after ASU hosted the final debate for the 2004 presidential election, two broadcast journalism professors are being honored for their debate coverage.

Journalism professors Bill Silcock and Mike Wong received the Broadcast Education Association's 2004 Award of Excellence for their work on "Backstage at a Presidential Debate: The Press, The Pundits & The People," a documentary offering an inside view of the media frenzy during a debate.

Yes, the Sun Devils are off to their worst start since 1985. And yes, they have lost five games in a row for the first time in six years. However, ASU's 6-8 record might not be reason to panic.

The sweat slowly trickles from 19-year-old Courtney Gagle's forehead. Her heart is racing and her breathing is strained. She thinks about stopping, but she knows she shouldn't.

Gagle thinks to herself about how thrilled she is to be at the happiest place on earth as she walks through Disneyland in California. She trudges on for a few more feet until she realizes that no amount of excitement is enough to make her get to the next ride. She spots a bench, walks over and collapses as if she just ran a marathon at a record-breaking pace.

To walk into Wal-Mart is to enter a world of endless noise, masses of merchandise stuffed on every available surface and a smiling old man saying, "Welcome to Wal-Mart."

The nation's largest retailer, known for its low, low prices, yellow smiley face icons and tendency to put the little guy out of business is tough to take, even in small doses. But just imagine working there.
